FAQ
What is the KSK002-22?The KSK002-22 is a Whiteline rear sway bar mount bushing service kit sized for 22mm sway bars, used to replace worn factory rubber bushings on the Pontiac G8.
How do I know if my sway bar is 22mm?Measure the diameter of the rear sway bar where it passes through the mount, or check your original Whiteline sway bar packaging if you purchased one previously.
Why do sway bar mount bushings wear out?Factory rubber bushings degrade from heat, oil exposure, and repeated flexing, which lets the sway bar shift and reduces handling precision over time.
Can I install this kit myself?Yes, most installers with basic hand tools can replace sway bar mount bushings in a home garage in under an hour.
Does this kit fit the front or rear sway bar?This kit is designed for the rear sway bar mount on the applicable Pontiac G8 trims.
Will this eliminate clunking noises from the rear suspension?Worn sway bar bushings are a common cause of clunking noise, and replacing them with this kit often resolves that symptom.
Is this bushing kit greaseless?Whiteline bushing kits are formulated from a low friction polyurethane compound that does not require the frequent greasing that rubber bushings do.
Does this kit include new sway bar end links?No, this kit includes only the sway bar mount bushings, not end links.
Is the KSK002-22 a good match for a daily driven G8?Yes, the KSK002-22 is designed to restore factory-like ride comfort while improving handling precision, making it well suited to daily driven applications.
